   Most flexible Metaverse out there...

   Most of the 3D world experiences limit what a user can build and do. This is not so with Vircadia. The Apache license makes this 3D application the most flexible tool for building custom and interactive worlds. Vircadia is truly free, open and relatively easy to use. There are several developers who are working and improving this platform daily! Free content ensures that new users have access to materials for building their world without having to worry about learning difficult 3D applications. I highly recommend Vircadia and believe this will be the next big server technology on the world wide web.

   🏁 Competitors: VRChat, Facebook Spaces, Facebook Horizon, Second Life, vTime XR, Metaverse, Sansar, OpenSimSim

   👍 Pros:    Spacial audio|Apache license|Inworld creation tools|Multiple platforms|Vr ready|Free content

   👎 Cons:    In development

• Vircadia: 2023.2.X “Selene” Release

  Vircadia is an open source (Apache 2.0) metaverse ecosystem consisting of a high performance real-time server architecture (C++), web SDK (TS), and web client (TS). Source: 7 months ago

• FLAC 1.3.4

  Not pre-baked. I work on https://vircadia.com/ -- it has to give every user their own audio mix to account for their 3D position. This means codec costs add up fast. You can't just encode once and stream the same thing to a dozen people. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• FLAC 1.3.4

  Both, primarily the first. Low latency is definitely a requirement, but no issues with Opus on that account. > I haven't looked into how expensive it is to encode in terms of CPU time, so I assume maybe you're taking about a bottleneck in terms of the number of simultaneous streams you can support on a single CPU? Yup! I work on https://vircadia.com/ -- we have to compress audio in real time and every user gets... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• When the Stagnation Goes Virtual

  Second Life improved avatars by quite a lot in fairly recent times. There's also alternatives to it, eg, check out the project I work on: https://vircadia.com/ It's a sort of spiritual successor to Second Life, since it was started by the same guy -- Philip Rosedale -- after he left SL. It didn't quite work, so the commercial project died and got picked up by open source forks, which is what I work on. It's less... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• When the Stagnation Goes Virtual

  To me it's useful/entertaining in the ways forums and chats are, plus some additional features on top of that. Eg, you can talk to people, but in addition to that you have a collaborative 3D environment with positional audio where you can script, make games or do other stuff. Recently a group using our project put up a Christmas Carol VR play, and the results were most impressive. https://vircadia.com/ -- it's an... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Mastodon provides the highest (over 12%) engagement under posts

  > whatever that Ruby-based alternative was, that Zuck famously invested in, but to which I have zero memory of the name right now I think you're referring to Diaspora. https://diasporafoundation.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_(social_network). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Imgur Is About to Wipe a Ton of Porn From the Internet

  Maybe if reddit manages to kill itself, one of the decentralized projects like diaspora will expand. Source: about 1 year ago

• Twitter will remove accounts created solely to promote other social platforms

  I remember making similar comments about Diaspora vs Facebook a decade ago, but people are... lazy. Yeah, let's go with lazy. Source: over 1 year ago

• Stop

  To be fair, its not Mastodon, its the #Fediverse. Mastodon is arguably the least rich platfrom on the 'verse. IMHO Friendica is where its at, and you can still communicate with all the twitter refugees on Mastodon, as well as meater content on services likeDiaspora*, not to mention full integration with Lemmy (which works fairly similar to Reddit) while Masto you can see lemmy posts and replies without having to...

• Open source social media

  Several upstarts have tried to capture what you're talking about. Diaspora was an early entry, the Fediverse is another that seems to be gaining momentum in a way Diaspora never did. Source: over 1 year ago
